Since reserving my Tesla Model 3 electric car in April, I have received four emails from Tesla Motors.
The first two were straightforward: One confirmed my reservation and the other was a "Welcome to Tesla" message that outlined how great the Model 3 was going to be (and how Tesla was planning to boost its production due to high demand).
At the end of April and the beginning of May, I received two more emails from Tesla. Both of these emails didn't have anything to do with the Model 3 specifically. One of the emails was a sales-oriented note about upcoming new styling and upgrades for the Model S, Tesla Motors' original, flagship all-electric car.
The last email I received was much more interesting. Here's the subject line: "Putting the Tesla HEPAFilter and BioweaponDefenseMode to the Test."
Yes, you read that right: Bioweapon Defense Mode.
The email outlines how Tesla is fully committed to creating the ultimate HEPA air filtration system. It's working so hard on this, in fact, that its filtration system will not only be capable of handling heavy air pollution in places such as China, it will also be able to handle a biological attack with the press of a button.
Here are my favorite paragraphs from the email (the bold at the end was added by me):
"In less than two minutes, the HEPA filtration system had scrubbed the air in Model X, bringing pollution levels from an extremely dangerous 1,000 µg/m³ to levels so low as to be undetectable (below the noise floor) by our instruments, allowing us to remove our gas masks and breathe fresh air while sitting inside a bubble of pollution.
Not only did the vehicle system completely scrub the cabin air, but in the ensuing minutes, it began to vacuum the air outside the car as well, reducing PM2.5 levels by 40%. In other words, Bioweapon Defense Mode is not a marketing statement, it is real. You can literally survive a military grade bio attack by sitting in your car."
Hey, you never know, right?
The email didn't mention if the new Model 3 would include the Bioweapon Defense Mode, but it is likely that will be available as an optional feature when the vehicle begins shipping in late 2017 and early 2018.

These videos were taken on a late afternoon in April 2013 in Council Bluffs and Omaha, respectively. They show a typical day on the railroads of Omaha and Council Bluffs. Although, I believe the order in which they took place is reversed on the video... Oh well. Enjoy! Feel free to subscribe and comments are always welcome, be they positive or negative!

Here is the second video of a series of videos that I am going to start posting that are time lapse shots of driving from Point A to Point B. Please let me know what time lapse visual map you would like to see next! I am open to requests!!!
Check this out people! I am really excited to start going to town using this versatile camera! Please check out this new idea that I tried out today. Imagine how this could help. I know the video goes by quickly, but our brains catch a large amount of information that we do not consciously process. It might help people visualize the route towards their destinations. Also, Google Maps could use some sort of overlay to add value to their current UI.

The link above is a video from a higher bird eye view filmed two weeks after this video was filmed.

The population of Council Bluffs was 62,230 at the 2010 census. Along with neighboring Omaha to the west, Council Bluffs was part of the 60th-largest metropolitan area in the United States in 2010, with an estimated population of 865,350 residing in the eight counties of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area. Council Bluffs is more than a decade older than Omaha. The latter, founded in 1854 by Council Bluffs businessmen and speculators following the Kansas-Nebraska Act, has grown to be the significantly larger city.

Council

A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county level, but most legislative bodies at the state or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government. A board of directors might also be denoted as a council. A committee might also be denoted as a council, though a committee is generally a subordinate body composed of members of a larger body, while a council may not be. Because many schools have a student council, the council is the form of governance with which many people are likely to have their first experience as electors or participants.

A member of a council may be referred to as a councillor, or by the gender-specific titles of councilman and councilwoman.

In politics

Notable examples of types of councils encountered in politics include:

City council

Australia and New Zealand

Because of the differences in legislation between the States, the exact definition of a City Council varies. However, it is generally only those local government areas which have been specifically granted city status (usually on a basis of population) that are entitled to refer to themselves as cities. The official title is "Corporation of the City of ------" or similar.

Some of the larger urban areas of Australia are governed mostly by a single entity (see Brisbane and other Queensland cities), while others maybe controlled by a multitude of much smaller city councils. Also some significant urban areas can be under the jurisdiction of otherwise rural local governments. Periodic re-alignments of boundaries attempt to rationalize these situations and adjust the deployment of assets and resources.

Local councils in New Zealand do vary in structure, but are overseen by the government department Local Government New Zealand. For many decades until the local government reforms of 1989, a borough with more than 20,000 people could be proclaimed a city. The boundaries of councils tended to follow the edge of the built-up area, so little distinction was made between the urban area and the local government area.

History

Early European-American official exploration was reported in 1804 by Lewis and Clark as they journeyed west along the Missouri River. They encountered many of the historic Native American tribes whose ancestors had inhabited the territory for thousands of years.

During the years of early pioneer settlement, in 1846 the US Army built Old Fort Kearny at Nebraska City. Several years later, the army abandoned it to relocate the fort to central Nebraska, now south of present-day Kearney.

It's working so hard on this, in fact, that its filtration system will not only be capable of handling heavy air pollution in places such as China, it will also be able to handle a biological attack with the press of a button.
Here are my favorite paragraphs from the email (the bold at the end was added by me):
"In less than two minutes, the HEPA filtration system had scrubbed the air in Model X, bringing pollution levels from an extremely dangerous 1,000 µg/m³ to levels so low as to be undetectable (below the noise floor) by our instruments, allowing us to remove our gas masks and breathe fresh air while sitting inside a bubble of pollution.
Not only did the vehicle system completely scrub the cabin air, but in the ensuing minutes, it began to vacuum the air outside the car as well, reducing PM2.5 levels by 40%. In other words, Bioweapon Defense Mode is not a marketing statement, it is real. You can literally survive a military grade bio attack by sitting in your car."
Hey, you never know, right?
The email didn't mention if the new Model 3 would include the Bioweapon Defense Mode, but it is likely that will be available as an optional feature when the vehicle begins shipping in late 2017 and early 2018.

Omaha & Council Bluffs Railroad Activity

These videos were taken on a late afternoon in April 2013 in Council Bluffs and Omaha, respectively. They show a typical day on the railroads of Omaha and Council Bluffs. Although, I believe the order in which they took place is reversed on the video... Oh well. Enjoy! Feel free to subscribe and comments are always welcome, be they positive or negative!

Driving from Council Bluffs, IA to Village Pointe Shopping Center in Omaha, NE

Here is the second video of a series of videos that I am going to start posting that are time lapse shots of driving from Point A to Point B. Please let me know what time lapse visual map you would like to see next! I am open to requests!!!
Check this out people! I am really excited to start going to town using this versatile camera! Please check out this new idea that I tried out today. Imagine how this could help. I know the video goes by quickly, but our brains catch a large amount of information that we do not consciously process. It might help people visualize the route towards their destinations. Also, Google Maps could use some sort of overlay to add value to their current UI.

The Great Missouri Flood of 2011 Omaha / Council Bluffs

Aerial view of the Missouri River,overlooking Omaha and Council Bluffs. The flood gates have not been fully opened yet and you can see the damage already. This will be the worst disaster in over a 100 years. This is I-29 in Iowa, between the Mormon Bridge and Crescent, landing at Eppley Airfield in Omaha.

Since reserving my Tesla Model 3 electric car in April, I have received four emails from Tesla Motors.
The first two were straightforward: One confirmed my reservation and the other was a "Welcome to Tesla" message that outlined how great the Model 3 was going to be (and how Tesla was planning to boost its production due to high demand).
At the end of April and the beginning of May, I received two more emails from Tesla. Both of these emails didn't have anything to do with the Model 3 specifically. One of the emails was a sales-oriented note about upcoming new styling and upgrades for the Model S, Tesla Motors' original, flagship all-electric car.
The last email I received was much more interesting. Here's the subject line: "Putting the Tesla HEPAFilter and BioweaponDefenseMode to the Test."

The Street Cars of Omaha

Hop aboard as you watch rare film footage of the street cars of 1950's Omaha. You'll criss-cross town to see landmarks in familiar neighborhoods as you learn fascinating, little-known details about the city's rail system. This 1-1/2 hr. video was filmed, edited, and narrated by Richard Orr. Mr. Orr also published a book in 1996 on this same topic, Streetcars of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
